The time of
                  year is approaching when we ask you to vote for
                  three members of the club that you think have
                  deserved some special recognition during the last
                  twelve months. The categories are Clubman and Club
                  Woman of the year and also the Marathon runner of
                  the year. But how do you choose?

                  
                  
In the case of
                  the Clubman and Club Woman awards you
                  might take into consideration their running ability
                  - races won or finishes in high positions. It might
                  be someone who has made great progress in their
                  running - from jogger to club standard or made a
                  comeback after a long lay-off because of illness or
                  injury for instance. (The lists of Beaumont
                  finishers on
                  Results
                  page might help your decision). Award winners from
                  previous
                  years.

                  
                  
Then again you
                  might want to vote for someone who has really
                  encouraged you in your running or helped to make
                  club life more enjoyable for you - always beaten
                  you to the bar for a round of drinks
                  perhaps!

                  
                  
You may like to
                  consider someone who works for the club behind the
                  scene in administration or team management for
                  example. 

                  
                  
In the
                  Marathon Award we ask you to make a choice
                  between those who have completed marathons in the
                  last year. Their finishing times may not
                  necessarily be the deciding factor. It could be the
                  number of times they have run marathons - their
                  debut or their hundredth - perhaps a personal best
                  or the amount of money raised for charity etc.
                  Below is a list of members who have run marathons,
                  or further, during 2008 - as far as I
                  know.
